Lion Air president director Edward Sirait has denied that the airline will cancel its purchase agreement for 190 Boeing 737 MAX planes, following a crash on Oct. 29 of a Lion Air flight that used the model’s MAX 8 aircraft. He was responding to questions about a statement made by Lion Air Group owner Rusdi Kirana, who said the airline would revalue a deal with Boeing worth US$22 billion. He said it was impossible to evaluate the purchase agreement, but added that the company would still wait for a comprehensive investigation into the cause of the accident.
